00:00:00
so I've had two recurring thoughts while covering this case the first one as a crime reporter is that it really only
00:00:07
takes one tip to reignite an investigation into a very cold case and solve it Lee Barnett had been hiding in
00:00:15
plain sight for a couple of decades but not until one man stepped forward did the FBI have any idea in the world where
00:00:24
Lee Barnett was now that man says that he decided to disclose Lee's location after Harris Todd provided several
00:00:31
documents from the court proceedings for him to read and that brings up the second recurring theme the idea that
00:00:38
this is a he-said she-said story when I was 38 I decided to get married before that people would say to me are you
00:00:46
afraid of marriage and it was never marriage that I was afraid of it was divorce and trust me when I tell
00:00:51
you that this case reaffirmed that fear if you start reading through those documents which I and our team of
00:00:58
producers did thousands and thousands of documents in this case more than 5000 documents you will see that the case of
00:01:06
Lee bar nut and Harris Todd was one of the most hateful and vitriolic of Family Court proceedings in its day and it
00:01:13
really hasn't changed to this day forward if you're one of those people who thinks it's justa he-said she-said
00:01:19
case then I submit that we add one more voice to this argument one more voice to
00:01:25
this case that of the child who is at the center of it now a grown woman the daughter of Lee Barnett and Harris Todd
00:01:32
has been left to pick up the pieces of this tragic mess and despite the fact that she herself has read every single
00:01:40
one of those documents every single hateful word innuendo and accusation from one parent against the other she
00:01:47
seems to be the only voice of reason the only person who is not publicly blamed or shamed and the only person who has
00:01:55
said let's try to move forward so watch the show listen to what she has to say then join me on Facebook and Twitter and
00:02:03
let me know what you think and thanks for watching
